I woke up at 6:30am this morning no problem. I was ready to go pick up my new toy! Drove 189 miles to FLAVADAVE's house and picked up my TRON. It needs some work but so do all my games, that's part of the fun.

It needs new ribbons and hopefully will start right up, although there is no guarantee. Fingers crossed.

Won it in an ebay auction for $208.50. I probably spent $70 in gas. So $278.50. I love my avalanche but it is a gas hog! Could be the 6" lift and 33" tires. LOL

I know TRONs are money pits. But they look so cool in a home arcade! And with the new movie coming out... I just had to have one!

Here are the pics FLAVADAVE took for the auction:

Dave is a great guy, pleasure to buy from. I just wish he would have sold me that Tempest too. LOL ;)

I'm sure I am going to have tons of questions, so be prepared. :)
 
nice score. aside from the side art, the art that's there looks pretty good, and i don't see any water damage on the mdf. sweet!
 
The lower black light cover looks superising good compare to the upper.......... Welcome to the club.
 
Re:

Glad you like it, I hope you can restore it before the movie comes out!
 
Looks like someone got crazy with a black spray can on the lower light cover, just try some Goof Off. Looks to be a solid candidate for sure!

Nice pick up!
 
You are lucky, i was going to bid on that one, but fell asleep and woke up 2 minutes too late!

I distinctly remember the "very dirty" picture from that auction so its the same one.

Congratulations. I hope to join the club soon.
 
Yeah the 12am auction ending time, worked in my favor.
Although I was willing to pay more... But that stays with ebay... :)
 
make sure you get the joystick from groovygamegear.com and a new insert and spinner label when you get a new CPO.
 
Congrats on your Tron!! I think Tron is one of my favorite games. Great cabinet and I really like playing it too. It's a really challenging game. Great score!!!
